A pivot is when you leave one foot on the ground but you can move the other foot to look and see who is open but NEVER pick up the foot that you left on the ground the Ref would call a travel but you can only stay in the spot where you stopped to pivot I hopes this worked sorry if it doesn't makes sense
That is the correct spelling of "pivot" in basketball (to turn the body about on one foot).
Basketball
you can pivot anytime you want as long as one leg is on the ground (no switching to other leg)
the foot that stays on the ground
Yes
Andrew Bynum
If you get the ball or stop your dribble and pick up or move one foot, the foot that stays still is your pivot foot. If you were to pick up your pivot foot it is a walk.
The basketball player had to pivot with the ball to keep it away from the opponent.
no
No, you cannot. This results in either a travel or a double dribble.
True and false. You can pivot with both feet, but not at the same time.For instance, you could be driving towards the basket and then stop on your right foot, using that pivot foot. On the next possession, you may stop on your left foot, using that as your pivot foot.However, you may not start using one pivot foot and switch to the other at one time. That is traveling.
Yes, as long as the pivot foot has not lost contact with the floor. Yes, even if the pivot foot has left the floor, the ball can be caught but if the ball is under control when the pivot foot recontacts the floor...a travelling infraction has occurred.
